The players that make the most sense to fill three-deep depth at corner are Ray Fisher, Brandon King, and Terrail Lambert. Lambert seems like a good fit because he has already been working in the Colts system for a year, and gives the unit at least some experience greater than if one of the true rookies took that spot. Fisher is a dynamic player who will compete for return duties and will develop at corner similar to Kelvin Hayden, Hayden and Fisher converted from wide receiver late in their collegiate careers. Of the undrafted free agents who seem most likely to make the final roster, King is a Purdue product who may have a inside track, particularly if he shows that he too can be dynamic as a potential returner should the need arise.
The players that seem most likely to make the roster outside of the ones listed above are Thad Turner, Pete Ittersagen, and Jordan Hemby. The knock on Hemby is that he has been injury-prone and that is not the kind of reputation one should carry into a position that has been rife with recent health issues. Ittersagen is often considered more of a return threat than a true corner, but could show enough as a corner that his added value makes him worth keeping around. Turner is probably the player who is on the outside on my list that is most suited to be a true corner in the NFL, and he could have an inside track to a practice squad spot if he fails to make the final roster.
